of the united states and yetjust days from the inauguration, the rift between the president—elect and the intelligence services seems to be widening. the outgoing director of the cia has warned that mr trump doesn't fully understand russia's actions, intentions or capabilities. john brennan added the president—elect should be very careful about lifting sanctions against moscow. in washington, preparations are well underway for the handover of power, as our correspondent laura bicker reports. the stage is set and rehearsals are underway for the moment when donald trump will take the oath of office. after a week of swirling controversies, this will be the day that matters but already figures have said they will not be there.

that matters but already figures have said they will not be therem will be very difficult. i do see the president—elect as illegitimate president. john lewis is a respected and much loved civil rights icon. his words matter but donald trump attacked him on twitter. the vice president—elect defended his boss. attacked him on twitter. the vice president—elect defended his bossli have great respect forjohn lewis and for his contributions. i was deeply disappointed to see him, someone deeply disappointed to see him, someone of his stature questioning the legitimacy of donald trump's in as president and say he is not attending the inauguration.” as president and say he is not attending the inauguration. i hope he reconsiders. security is being tightened as part of the capital prepares to go on lockdown. around a million people are expected here but john lewis is not the only one not coming. 20 democrats will not be there and donald trump does notjust

have racial or political divisions to heal. the president—elect accused his top spies of the king and unverified dossier of claims of linking the tramp campaign with russia. he compared the actions to nazi germany. what i do find out regis is equating intelligence community with nazi germany. i take great umbrage with that. there is no basis for him to point fingers at the intelligence community for leaking information that was already available publicly. but the president—elect says this inauguration week and this piece of historical political theatre will be about listening to the voice of the people, not the washington elite. one area, amongst many that may be affected by a trump presidency is the middle east peace process. donald trump has suggested the us embassy in israel could be moved tojerusalem, which would be highly controversial.

meanwhile, representatives of more than 70 countries and international organisations have met in paris to discuss peace in the region, but neither israel nor the palestinians were at the summit. hugh schofield reports from paris. a middle east peace conference but without the hostile parties. some said it was a talking shop, but not the french organisers. for them it is more urgent than ever to push israel and the palestinians in the direction of face to face talks. translation: this conflict, and it was said by many speakers today, is highly symbolic. it goes way beyond its borders. it runs the risk of making this conflict worse as it would give a gift to extremists all over the world. the communique called on the parties to reaffirmed their commitment to a two state solution and not to take any unilateral steps that might endanger future talks.

the implicit criticism was of israel and its policy of settlements in the palestinian west bank. and so predictably, israel's reaction was blunt. the conference, said prime minister netanyahu, was an attempt by france and the palestinians to build an anti—israel coalition, but the world he said was changing. soon it would look very different. indeed the real talking point in paris was the big change about to take place in washington. john kerry was there for the outgoing us team, but from friday it is the incoming trump administration, pro—israeli in a new kind of way, that calls the shots. donald trump's promised to move the us embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem, breaking with decades of us policy had delegates in paris rattled, though in the end caution prevailed and they did not mention the issue in their communique. in the end then, not a huge amount achieved in paris except

perhaps for a signal sent that whatever the changes that are coming, most countries still believe in the existing blueprint for peace in the middle east. let's get more on this. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, joins us from jerusalem. give us a flavour of more of the reaction from israel to this summit. from the israelis they say this event was useless, it was something the prime minister said was ripped from the start and they felt pressure was being put on israel to make decisions that would go against its national interest. they said and encouraged the palestinians to come back to direct talks, something they have done consistently and they felt

this event would create the illusion that something else was possible, that something else was possible, that you could go to the international community instead. the french president did try to address some of those criticisms when he spoke to the conference. within the governing coalition in israel you have differences of opinion. the prime minister has voiced support for deep to state solution, but there are many members of his coalition who openly stated their opposition to such an idea and expansion dee support the expansion of israel. how worried are the palestinians about the incoming trump administration? this is something that we have heard lots more comments on from the palestinians in the last few days. initially there was a sense this was

perhaps a campaign promise, people remembered a previous presidential candidates had made such promises but then indications that the state department had been asked about the logistics of such a move, the nomination of david freedom, a hardline ambassador for israel from the us, from the trump administration, this started to get the palestinians worried and their concern is if you move the us embassy, as far as they are concerned, that is recognising jerusalem as israel's capital and palestinian want east jerusalem jerusalem as israel's capital and palestinian want eastjerusalem to beat the capital of their future state. at the moment, all foreign embassies are based in tel aviv for that reason. a look at some more top stories this hour. serbia's president has said he'd be willing to send troops to kosovo to protect ethnic serbs. it follows the suspension

britain will play hardball — potentially with steep cuts in business taxes to compete with the eu. 0ur political correspondent vicki young has the details. slowly a picture is emerging of theresa may's brexit plans. if she gets her way, negotiations will be triggered injust over gets her way, negotiations will be triggered in just over two gets her way, negotiations will be triggered injust over two months and today, one of her senior ministers made it clear that britain is prepared to play hardball. philip hammond was asked about the merits of the uk lowering tax rates. he said he favoured the current system with european style taxation but he had a warning, britain might be forced to become something different. if we have no access to the european markets, we could be forced to change our economic model. the british people are not going to lie down and say to that, we have

been wounded. the prime minister has been wounded. the prime minister has been opened that her priority in negotiations will be to control immigration and to make sure the uk can do global trade deals. they say to do that the uk will have to leave the single market and the chancellor is laying out what the consequences of that may be for britain and the eu. the labour leader accused mr hammond of assuming a risky strategy. he appears to be making a threat to the european communities saying, if you do not give us what we want, we will become this strange entity on the shores of europe where there will be low levels of corporate taxation, designed to undermine the effectiveness of industry across europe. it seems a recipe for a trade war with europe. but others recognise eu leaders will recognise the benefits. we are

leaving the single market, we want to make trading arrangements but we wa nt to to make trading arrangements but we want to become operating and have a free trade arrangement with the eu and have full access to services, so thatis and have full access to services, so that is where we should be. that is not damaging to the uk or eu. on tuesday, theresa may will urge the country to unite and get behind brexit but mps are concerned her approach will damage the economy. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: the circus once billed as the greatest show on earth decides to bring down the great top on 150 yea rs. bring down the great top on 150 years. day one of operation desert storm... the outgoing director of the cia warns donald trump not to underestimate russia's intentions and capabilities. france has been hosting an international summit to try to kick—start
